Directions:
1. Prepare the Mango Cheesecake Layer:
– Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease an 8-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
– Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
– Mix in the mango puree and vanilla extract until well combined.
– Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is just set. Let cool completely, then refrigerate.
2. Prepare the Cake Layers:

– In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
– In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
– Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with milk and mango puree, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix in the vanilla extract.
– Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely.
3. Make the Mango Tango Frosting:
– In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
– Fold in the mango puree and lime juice gently until combined. Refrigerate until ready to use.
